The term "God our Savior" emphasizes the role of God as the deliverer and redeemer of humanity. In the Old Testament, God's kindness is often associated with His covenant faithfulness (hesed) to Israel, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/136.htm">Psalm 136</a>. The New Testament reveals this kindness more fully through the person and work of Jesus Christ, who embodies God's saving grace. The title "Savior" is significant, as it was used in the Greco-Roman world to describe deities and emperors, but here it is applied to God, underscoring His ultimate authority and benevolence.and His love for mankind appeared, The appearance of God's love for mankind is a reference to the incarnation of Jesus Christ. This event is the ultimate demonstration of divine love, as described in <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>, where God gives His only Son for the salvation of the world. The Greek word for "appeared" (epiphaneia) suggests a sudden and glorious manifestation, which aligns with the prophetic expectations of the Messiah's coming. This love is not limited to a specific group but extends to all humanity, fulfilling the promise made to Abraham that through his offspring all nations would be blessed (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>). The cultural context of the time, with its divisions and hostilities, makes this universal love even more radical and transformative.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/g/god_our_savior.htm">God our Savior</a> This title emphasizes God's role in salvation, highlighting His initiative in the redemption of humanity. 2. <a href="/topical/t/titus.htm">Titus</a> A young pastor and a close associate of the Apostle Paul, to whom this letter is addressed.

We of ourselves should never have become changed men, had not the kindness of God and His divine love for men shown itself. We, indeed, have no ground for self-exaltation, no excuse for haughty treatment of others, either in thought or action; for if we now live other and purer lives than they live, our change to better and higher things was owing to no desert or merit of ours, but solely to the mercy and the love of God. The changed life is here solely attributed to the manifestation to man of the kindness and love of God our Saviour. Here God our Saviour, as in <a href="/1_timothy/1-1.htm" title="Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;">1Timothy 1:1</a>, and in several other passages in the Pastoral Epistles, must be understood as "God the Father;" the "kindness" differs from the "love towards man." The first signifies generally that divine, measureless, all comprehensive love which we know is the glorious attribute of God. The second expression tells of the special love which the Almighty has for man, and which has been so marvellously shown in the sacrifice and death of the Son of God for us. The two words--the measureless, divine love which embraces all creation, and the special love of God for man--taken together, make up the one idea expressed by the "grace that bringeth salvation," of <a href="/titus/2-11.htm" title="For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,">Titus 2:11</a> of this Epistle. In the rare word philanthropia, the "love of God toward man," a quiet but very solemn reminder is given to those "Christians" who would have no dealings with their less pure heathen neighbours. The word applied here to God tells them to love men, even the enemies of their holy religion; they are to obey the heathen magistrate, and to think kindly of and to act courteously towards their heathen neighbour, because God has loved men--all men. Here are they to be imitators of the divine pity, copyists of the divine love.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/titus/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 4. - When for after that, A.V.; the kindness of God our Savior, and his love toward man for the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man, A.V.

In <a href="/romans/3-12.htm">Romans 3:12</a>, where it has the wider sense of "good" or "right," it is the phrase of the LXX., who use χρηστότης for the Hebrew טוב.
